(Digital watches -- never did care for them myself. Never owned one.)

Anyway the subject of recommendations of wine books does keep coming up and
because of that, a wealth of still-useful information and perspectives is on

the content lies mostly in the archive. Look and see.

Good info, thanks. (That's archived too, now.)
